We Met On The Train

5.

Faith Elizabeth
"Mystery girl? New girlfriend? Can you believe this, we were literally photographed leaving the same building and that was it" I vented to mum.
"Well I can believe it. If any celebrity, especially a world famous good looking young man like Shawn, is seen with anyone of the opposite sex it makes a good story" Mum explained and I sighed. "You have to get used to it my darling"
"I know."
"You didn't say much about yesterday, I thought you would have been non stop talking about him" She said and I sighed.
"He was amazing, handsome, sweet. Everything was fine. He's got my number and he said he's going to message me to hang out at some point before Sunday" I told her.
"Well today's Saturday afternoon so he better get a move on" Mum laughed.
"Is it?" I said and she nodded.

As I shrugged, my phone indicated that someone had messaged me.
I picked it up and my heart started to race, my inner fangirl screaming.
'Hey it's Shawn. Pick you up in 30?' He texted and I looked down at my pyjamas.
'Sure, we're in apartment 41. See you then' I replied.
"Shit" I said. "He's picking me up in half an hour"
I started to run up the small set of stairs as mum shouted up.
"You're not ready!" She shouted.
"I'm aware!" I shouted back before closing my bedroom door.

What the hell do you wear when you're hanging out with Shawn Mendes for the day? Do you go fancy? Girly? Casual? Dress to impress?
I had no idea.
After wasting ten minutes looking blankly into my wardrobe I decided on black ripped jeans, a cropped but long sleeved black roll neck top and my brown corduroy coat.
I usually wouldn't bother with makeup, but we were talking about a day with Shawn Mendes so I decided I would bother today.

I stood deliberating in the mirror for the last five minutes before Shawn arrived.
"Faith!" Mum shouted and I flinched in surprise.
I took one final look before slipping on my tan shoes and walking down the stairs.
Sure enough, he was stood in his usual black jeans and white top.
"Are you not freezing without a coat?" I smiled.
"Nope" he replied simply, a bright smile coming onto his face.
"Ok bye" I said to mum before she closed the door behind us.

We walked down to his car in silence.
"What are we doing?" I said as we climbed in the car.
"I hadn't really got that far. What do you want to do?" He asked and I couldn't help but smile.
"I don't know, well let's narrow it down. Public or private?" I asked.
"I'd rather not have cameras flashing all over us. I want to get to know you so I'm going to go with private" He said and I nodded. "Did you just want to go back to mine and talk?"
"I mean if that's ok with you then that sounds nice" I smiled, trying to hide the fact that I was more than nervous.

We drove the short distance to his house and I was in awe as I stepped out of the car.
"This is amazing"
"I love it here" he smiled.
We walked up to the giant place and walked inside. It was modern. Unlike anything I've ever seen before.
"Do you want a drink?"
"Just water please" I said standing round like a little lost puppy, while he radiated confidence.
"Take a look around if you want" he smiled and I nodded.

His house was unlike anything I had ever seen. It was very, Shawn.
I walked as slowly as I could, taking everything in.
I looked out of the large windows, admiring my life and this place.
"Hey"
"God you scared me" I smiled and turned to face Shawn.
"You seemed pretty deep in thought" he said as he sat on one end of a large L shaped sofa. I sat on the opposing end.
"You were watching me?" I smirked. He just smiled and shook his head. "I was just admiring how amazing this place is"
"Where Do you live in the U.K.?" He asked.
"In a tiny town an hour outside of London" I replied. "Nothing happens there and it's not me anymore"
"So, What is you?"
"I know it may not seem like it but I'm fun and like to have fun and I like to think that I'm nice. I sing all the time, I dance and I love acting. I read and write and I'm really quite boring" I smiled.
"I bet you're not boring" he smiled.
"Stay tuned and you'll find out" I giggled.

"I was expecting you to freak when I invited you here" he smiled and I crossed my legs up on the sofa.
"No offence, but you're a human being. Just a human being with a hell of a lot more talent than most. However, I will confess I am a big fan of the talent that you have...that sounded a lot less sexual in my head" I said and my heart fluttered as I heard him laugh.
"Thank you, I think" he smiled and I swooned.
"So Shawn, I think we need to discuss a very important aspect of life" I said and he just raised his eyebrow. "Do you have a girlfriend?"
"Seriously?"
"Well yeah. If we're doing a sexy music video together then I want to know if some girlfriend will be watching" I said.
"No. No I don't" he said and I nodded. "Do you have a boyfriend or girlfriend?"
"I don't have a boyfriend no, I just got out of a long term relationship but I'm not going to bore you with that" I said trying to force a smile.
"I'm sorry"
"Don't be. I'm ok. How are you feeling about the video?"
"I mean it's going to be a different vibe for me but I think the fans will like it. Do you want to see a mood board toms sent?" He said and I nodded.

I stood up from where I was sat and shyly walked over to where Shawn was sitting.
"May I?" I said pointing beside him.
"Of course you can" he smiled and I sat right beside him.
Our arms brushed as he placed his arm on the back of the sofa.
I leaned in a bit closer as he opened his phone. As he opened the mood board and immediately what I noticed was the colours.
Pink, red, white. There were pictures of bed sheets and the city and a silhouette of a kiss. I'm not completely sure why, but it ignited a new found fear inside of me.
"Wow" I said and he nodded.
"I don't get why it has to be sexy" he sighed and we locked eyes, and I couldn't help but glance down quickly at his lips as he bit his lower lip quickly.
"Sex sells"
